Quick Answer

What is a fractional CMO, and why do Sherwood firms hire one?

A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, the firm gets a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: classic SEO alongside AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) so the firm shows up wherever clients now look.

  • A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
  • Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
  • Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first

Representative Engagement

Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity

Illustrative of what this work tends to produce; details are representative.

Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend

Budget was flowing to several agencies with no clear read on which channels produced signed cases.

We unified tracking from first touch to signed case, scored every channel, cut the spend that wasn’t converting, and moved budget to the highest-ROI sources.

Lower cost-per-case and higher qualified volume, at the same time.
